Golf's bad? Nobody told me! Taking a 5 mile hike with a 30# bag, enjoying some of the most beautifully cared for landscape on the earth, taking frequent breaks to make an athletic move to strategically place a small ball on the path ahead of you, enjoying the companionship of a few friends while competing? Sounds like fun to me! Now if I could just do that without waiting of slow cart riding hackers it would be even better!

Yeah, most think I'm crazy. I know I'm crazy, like a fox.
1. Back doesn't hurt anymore

5. With my turtledog stand I can take it with me
6. Won't be buying anymore $1000. to $1500. mattresses

Most of us end up poorer here but richer for being here. Olddog, Fulltime hammocker, 365 nights a year.

Also....my co-workers think I'm a little "off" when I tell them I slept in a hammock in the backyard Does anyone else get that "this guy is kinda crazy" look when you talk about your passion for the outdoors?

Same here, I work with family so it's a big joke going around. My Aunt caught at the local sewing shop the other day and told the whole other side of the family that I sew now. Oh well, they're the ones missing out.
